Could never get into The White Stripes so will have to say The Strokes.

"Is this It?" is a fantastic album!

I think that the White Stripes have been more consistent, but The Strokes have released better material. There are always a few great White Stripes tracks on every album, but none of their albums are up to par with Is This It or Room on Fire. But they're better than First Impressions and Angles!

That's not far off. I feel like this:
1. Is this it - 9.5
2. De Stijl - 9.1
3. Room On Fire - 8.9
4. Elephant - 8.6
5. Icky Thump - 8.4
6. WHite Blood Cells - 8.4
7. Get Behind Me Satan - 8.2
8. White stripes - 7.8
9. First Impressions of Earth - haven't heard whole thing. From what I've heard, sorta hit or miss.
10. Angles - have heard very little.
